Our teacher unfortunately did not make an effort to draw parallels to current situations in our history class, which I regret. I find it admirable that you do were able to get that sort of education. I only recently and out of my own interest starting drawin the lines between different events and how they are similar and could be avoided by knowing what went wrong in the past. It really is fascinating.
I believe history is worthless if you don't do what I mentioned above, and I am starting to understand why in school I always felt history was one of the most boring subjects. Sure, the whole stone age and similar stuff is interesting from a pure curiosity standpoint, but most of it is just useless knowledge in my eyes - with some exceptions though
